Bizana backs FC Ravens ahead of Eastern Cape decider against Old Grey

Support for FC Ravens is building across Bizana and the wider Eastern Cape after the team was confirmed as Inland Stream champions and prepares for a decisive provincial clash against Old Grey FC.

Posters and social media messages from multiple football clubs show strong regional backing ahead of the ABC Motsepe League provincial decider scheduled for Saturday, 18 April 2026 at 13:00 at Sisa Dukashe Stadium.

Clubs including Spear of the Nation Supporters Club, Bizana Pondo City FC, Bush Bucks FC, Amexisbe FC, Fast Eleven FC and Bizana Pondo Chiefs FC have all publicly congratulated FC Ravens on their achievement and wished them well for the upcoming match.

In their messages, teams praised Ravens’ “perseverance, skill, and teamwork” and described their title as a “well-deserved success,” while also calling on supporters to rally behind the side. One club urged fans to “go there and support our inland brothers,” highlighting the growing sense of unity across teams in the province.

The fixture against Old Grey FC is positioned as a major moment for Eastern Cape football, with the match bringing together top teams from different streams. Additional promotional material shows the game as part of a broader football event at Sisa Dukashe Stadium, including an earlier exhibition match.

For Bizana, the stakes go beyond football. FC Ravens’ progress has become a source of local pride, with several clubs framing the match as an opportunity to “make Bizana proud” and showcase the strength of small-town football in the province.

The strong public backing also reflects a rare moment of unity between competing clubs, many of whom have faced each other during the season but are now collectively supporting Ravens on a bigger stage.

What remains unclear is what qualification or advancement is at stake in the decider. This has not been confirmed.

For local supporters, the message is clear: turnout and support could play a key role as FC Ravens aim to carry their winning form into one of their biggest matches yet.
